but it is so extreme that al qaeda has now disavowed them. the group, which claims to have militants all around the world in its ranks, including from the u.s. and europe, has had great military success in syria, and now in iraq too. in january, they seized the town of fallujah, the site of some of the most brutal fighting between american forces and insurgents in 2004. then on tuesday, iraq's second largest city, mosul, which fell to american forces within months of the 2003 invasion, also surrendered to isis. two divisions of iraqi soldiers, around 30,000 men, fled, abandoning their weapons and uniforms when just 800 insurgents overran the city. isis then imposed a harsh legal code in mosul, telling women to wear wide clothes and only step outside if absolutely necessarily. fighters have looted millions of dollars in military equipment across the north, prompting desperate measures from the iraqi government. >> today, the iraqi air force bombed what appeared to be their own bases and aircraft hangers in mosul, in what seems to be a scorched
